Synopsis "Supernatural Politics. Mao Zedong and the Drive to Eliminate Religion in China, 1949–79"

When the Chinese Communist Party took power in 1949, China was still a religious society. In this landmark contribution, Steve Smith examines the paradox of 'supernatural politics', showing that we cannot understand the meaning of the revolution to the Chinese people without engaging their relationship to gods, ghosts and ancestors.
